Question

Which of the following is true in a basic solution?

A. The molarity of hydronium is double the molarity of hydroxide.
B. The molarity of hydronium is equal to the molarity of hydroxide.
C. The molarity of hydronium is lower than the molarity of hydroxide.
D. The molarity of hydronium is higher than the molarity of hydroxide.

Answer 1

Answer: C. The molarity of hydronium is lower than the molarity of hydroxide.

Explanation: A basic solution is one which has pH above 7 and an acidic solution is one which has pH below 7.

A basic solution has more number of
`OH^-` ions as compared to
`H^+` ions and an acidic solution has lesser number of
`OH^-` ions as compared to
`H^+` ions .

A neutral solution has equal number of
`OH^-` ions as compared to
`H^+` ions.

Answer 2

I believe that the best answer to the choices given in your question is C. The molarity of hydronium is lower than the molarity of hydroxide.

I hope I have answered your question. Have a nice day ahead.
